Putting the People in the Pictures First (2024 updated version) Guidelines for the Ethical Production and Use of Content (images and stories)

Across the NGO sector, many organisations are working to shift power and resources towards majority world actors and towards realising locally-led development. The Ethical Storytelling Group has updated the guidelines for the ethical production and use of content. The guidelines build on Bond’s core values: Civil society solidarity; Collaboration; Environmental Sustainability; Accountability; Anti-racism, inclusion and diversity; Locally-led; Responsibility and effectiveness; and Do no harm. The guidelines include links to a selection of relevant resources seeking to reflect upon and enhance their ethical approaches to NGO storytelling and communications.
